CAMI uses the CAMI Production System (CPS), a set of operating philosophies that guide team members in manufacturing vehicles. The basis of the system is working in teams performing standardized work. This is based on the Japanese production system, which is built on a team concept.
Ownership of CAMI was originally split 50-50% between Suzuki and General Motors Canada; GM took full ownership in December 2009. In 2022 production at the facility shifted to the BrightDrop light commercial electric vehicles platform, and BrightDrop Zevo vans are now manufactured there.
